 | | For the Red Sox, the starter would be righthander Ellis Kinder, a grizzled 32-year-old Army veteran of World War II from the hills around Jackson, Tenn., with an imposing record against the Yankees -- 7-2 lifetime, 4-0 that season when he had a 23-5 record with six shutouts. |
 | | Saturday night, Kinder did what he often did in New York -- he went drinking with a friend, Arthur Richman, then a Daily Mirror sportswriter, now the senior adviser in the Yankee front office who recommended Joe Torre as manager. |
 | | On the Red Sox train ride back to Boston that evening, Kinder, still furious over being removed for a pinch hitter in a 1-0 game, derided McCarthy in a noisy confrontation, but Tom Yawkey, the Red Sox owner, had put the situation in perspective. |
